Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Orbital diseases represent a significant clinical challenge.
  • Metastatic tumors to the orbit require careful diagnostic and management strategies.

Purpose:

  • To present data on orbital metastasis.
  • To guide the diagnostic and management approach for suspected orbital metastasis.

Summary:

  • A retrospective review of 34 cases of orbital metastasis (1965-1994) identified breast, cutaneous melanoma, and pulmonary tumors as primary sources.
  • Orbital metastasis presented as the initial sign of malignancy in 7 patients.
  • Histologic confirmation was obtained in 15 cases, with treatment and follow-up data presented.

Impact:
